Clever tips to get your measurements right

Clever tips to get your measurements right
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

A quick way to get the right amount of flour or sugar is with your measuring spoons. One heaped tablespoon of either is approximately 25g (1oz).

Follow recipes in metric or imperial. Never try to switch between the two. I once ruined a chocolate cake that way.

Always use level teaspoon and tablespoon measurements, a little bit more or less can make a huge difference to a recipe.
